It's not your fault, it's this bug:

I think it's because Orca doesn't know if there is bullet. It's this 
bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100871

> When I go to the slide show, Orca does not read the slides.

It's another LibreOffice Impress bug.

I'm not aware of such tutorial.
